. Hawkwind – The Future Never Waits (Cherry Red) – Those aren’t very Hawkwind-like sounds gently flowing past there on the fourth track of the new album are they? A piece called They Get So Easily Distracted, some kind of mellow almost-jazz thing that’s flowing by in a rather likeable way and yes sure, there…
Hawkwind have announced a brand-new studio album. “The Future Never Waits follows their critically acclaimed 2021 album Somnia and 2022 double live album We Are Looking In On You.
